Memory Leak in Windows Service written in C#

1 New Member
I have a Windows Service written in C#. Memory used by the application based on the System.Environm ent.WorkingSet is 33MB at the begining. on average it goes up by 50MB every day. It reaches about 700MB in about 14 days.

So to maintain the memory used by the application low, i have to restart the service. once i restart the service the memory used by the application changed to 33MB again.

I tried my best to clean up any resource i used on the code. but i still could not see any solution to this memory leak.

I will be thankful for your time and suggestions to this problem.

Thank you in advance!
Regards
Anu

I have a problem with an C# application. The application is a 24x7 low volume message processing server. The server has a single thread of processing, running in a continuous loop, for each iteration thread sleeping for 5 seconds and than reading textual message files from a Windows Folder and applying them to a database. From an external view, the server appears to have a memory-leek, continuously consuming RAM in a near linier fashion as...

Ok, now I'm officially confused. I have a large project going, which uses a win32 ui library I am developing myself. And I'm getting weird memory leaks. I don't know if I can explain what is going on, but I really need some help on this one. Ok, so I have this class defined (written by Randy Charles Morin, www.kbcafe.com) which detects memory leaks. It creates a memory check point in the constructor, and another in the destructor, and...

We are having issues with our windows services using memory and never releasing it. We have one service that has a file watcher which takes an xml file, inserts some records into a database, and creates a bunch of PDFs with Crystal Reports. Another service is a remote object which serves as our data access component -- basically it just executes stored procedures and returns datasets. If you watch the services in task manager, you can...

I've got a Windows Service written in C# that is having some unfortunate memory issues. I've been working with .NET MemProfiler and AllocationProfiler. But you don't have to use those programs to notice the memory leak. The memory usage in the TaskManager for the process can be seen climbing and climbing, MBs at a time. When using MemProfiler, I noticed the Win32 Heap is what seems to be growing. I've been searching on the internet...

I've been having a discussion with a collegue concerning how to identify memory leaks with applications running within the CLR. I read the microsoft article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318263 Would it be safe to say that using windows task manager if the Mem Usage figure continues to rise when a windows service is running although not actively processsing then that is a symptom of a memory leak. Conversly if a windows services is...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
